Prophetic Inheritance is our flagship multi-stage curriculum, now in its third year. It is a structured, sequential journey through the foundational Islamic sciences — from creed and fiqh to hadith, usul, Arabic, and advanced classical texts. Students are accepted into cohorts and progress together under close teacher supervision. It is taught as live cohorts; the price for the current intake is shown on its registration page, and completed stages are available in the All-Access library.

For sequential programs like Prophetic Inheritance, enrollment is cohort-based. You would typically wait for the next intake. For other programs, enrollment may be open on a rolling basis. Contact us at Miraathinstitute@gmail.com to ask about current availability.

Live classes are held online via Zoom or YouTube Live. Enrolled students receive the link before each session. Sessions are typically recorded — recordings are made available to enrolled students after the class through the student portal.

There are two ways to study. The All-Access Library is $25/month and includes every completed course — watch anytime, cancel anytime. Live cohorts (taught live by the teacher, with office hours and review sessions) each have their own price, shown on the class’s registration page. We also offer many free community programs. When a live cohort finishes, it joins the All-Access library.

You can cancel your All-Access subscription (or any monthly billing) by contacting us at Miraathinstitute@gmail.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You will retain access until that date.

One-time payments are generally non-refundable after course access has been granted. If a course is cancelled by the Institute before it begins, you will receive a full refund. For exceptional circumstances, contact us and we'll review your situation individually.

Payments are processed via Stripe, which accepts all major credit and debit cards. Recurring billing for the All-Access subscription is handled automatically. You will receive a receipt by email for every payment.
